Just a thought but you might want less support. The pipes will always want to move a little and so should be able to. They can be mounted on rubber bobbins to allow them to flex rather than snap, also some people only support them at the back.

I have a section of flexible exhaust pipe between the headers and the side pipes, side pipes mounted on rubber bobbins and stiff engine mounts (land rover ones). No problems so far.

cheers
